Uk internet censorship
Posted: Thu Dec 05, 2013 3:41 pm
first let me start of by saying that i don't know if this topic has come up before, if it has then sorry
so recently the british government has gone on some kind of internet censorship "crusade".
now they have announced that filters will be introduced, which means that some fat, lazy government type who doesn't know the first thing about what hes doing will get the power to decide what sites are good or bad.
this is opt in however it will be enabled by default so if you opt out it could make you look bad or like a pervert. this will also give them the power to monitor everything we do online legitimately with an excuse for doing it although funnily enough that part isn't mentioned much.
sorry about the rant but this is wrong and immoral on so many levels and is a first step towards communist style internet censorship.
we have a right to freedom and anonymity on the internet and this is being removed by a corrupt government who exaggerates existing threats such as that of pedophilia to restrict perfectly legal use of the internet.
i understand that pedophilia is a disgusting and highly real threat and i agree that they should be punished but the government should spend more time hunting them down and less time trying to censor everything.
that is like locking down the whole of london and arresting every citizen to catch one petty thief.
once again sorry for the rant but this is something i feel very strongly about and that will effect all uk users of milovana.
